A young boy stands outside a migrant camp in Corpus Christi, Texas, in February 1939. The image provides a glimpse into the lives of families who faced economic hardship during the Great Depression. These camps were common as migrants sought work. The FSA/OWI Collection documents such scenes to reflect American life in the 1930s and 1940s.
